Spring: The Wood Element🪵and Gall Bladder/Liver Health

Each yin and yang organ has a repair and maintenance schedule that's reflected in a 24-hour cycle. Refer to the TCM Organ Clock to identify which organ system needs strengthening or support.

➡️11pm-1am: Gall Bladder
* In order to wake feeling energized, the body should be at rest. In Chinese Medicine, this period of time is when yin energy fades and yang energy begins to grow. Yang energy helps to keep you active during the day and is stored when you’re asleep.
* If you're not resting by 11pm, you could have issues with digesting fats. If you have gallstones, you may experience pain during this time.
* As the gall bladder's related to decision-making, indecision can result if you're chronically not asleep/resting by 11pm.
* Also, subconscious feelings of resentment may appear during this time.
❣️Nourish the gall bladder by turning off the lights, sleeping, and allowing regeneration!

➡️1-3am: Liver
* The body should be asleep. If you find yourself waking during this time, you could have too much yang energy or problems with your liver or detoxification pathways.
* Toxins are released from the body, and fresh new blood is made. The liver stores blood.
* Give the liver as little to process during this time as possible so it can focus on cleansing functions.
* This is also the time of anger, frustration, and rage.
❣️Nourish the liver by eating a light meal early, plus enjoying deep sleep and dreaming during this time!

⬆️The movement of Wood is upwards.

🪵The nature of Wood includes all forms in the plant kingdom, but the quintessential icon of Wood is the tree which sprouts from its seed and rockets upwards in search of light. Its branches splay outwards to fill the space, but the fundamental direction is up.

🌳The many forms that plants and trees take can give us insight into the nature and qualities of Wood. The tiny plant that forces its way up through a crack in the pavement demonstrates Wood’s ability to find ways around obstacles to growth. In its early stages, a plant grows rapidly and vigorously, yet also in a jerky series of growth spurts which is another feature of Wood. The weeds that proliferate in the garden show the sheer unstoppable nature of Wood. Bamboo, which bends easily in the wind, is a great illustration of the flexibility of Wood.

🔥Trees can also show us what Wood is like when it's unhealthy. Old trees become stiff, brittle and break in the wind. Plants suffering from drought become stunted and gnarled, unable to manifest their full potential. And trees that have died leave their grey bones in a pile, fuel for the next fire.

Couldn't make last night's Full Moon Glow experience or just looking for more wellness events this month? These next two are FREE to everyone - online on April 11th and in-person on April 25th.

During every class and event, I emphasize community connection. Why? Because we're absolutely stronger as a healing collective. What a beautiful way to receive and give support within a safe container, making lasting connections along the way!

Post 2/2: If the generation cycle was the only one operating, energy would spiral out of control. Therefore, another cycle operates simultaneously: the ke cycle, or control cycle.

Here, each element exerts a restraining or controlling influence on the next but one in a clockwise direction, providing checks and balances that ensure dynamic equilibrium among all elements.💧🪵🔥🌍🪨

Water controls Fire: Like a bucket of water douses a fire.
Fire controls Metal: Heat softens and shapes the hardness of metal.
Metal controls Wood: A knife carves wood.
Wood controls Earth: Tree roots hold soil together.
Earth controls Water: Banks shape a river’s course or create a dam.

☮️When these two cycles are taken together, there is the opportunity for perfect balance and harmony among the elements. Each element has a relationship with every other element - they are entirely interwoven and interdependent.

Post 1/2: Throughout the years, I’ve talked a lot about Chinese's Medicine's 5 Elements Theory (also referred to as the Five Phases).

The fundamental cycle of the Five Elements, known as the sheng or generation cycle, represents a cycle in which each element generates the next. This can be illustrated by looking at the seasons in nature.

💧Winter (Water Element):
A time of darkness, coldness, stillness, and waiting. Nature preserves its resources, holding potential for the right time: the seed waiting to sprout. The qualities of Water include quiet, patient waiting, pooling, and storing of energy, not rushing to act but waiting for the signal to move. These qualities allow the energy of the Wood Element to arise in the spring.

🪵Spring (Wood Element):
There is a sudden, dramatic, dynamic upward rising, and things grow rapidly as temperature and light increase. The seed quickly manifests its genetic blueprint, mapping where the plant will go and what it will become. Wood moves upwards and creates a strong trunk, giving birth to the Fire Element.

🔥Summer (Fire Element):
The energy spreads outwards. This is when everything in nature is bursting outwards to its fullest expansion. Nature is a riot, and it is the hottest, brightest, most happening time of year. The expansion is possible because it has been generated by the Wood.

🌍Late-Summer (Earth Element):
After the zenith of Fire, the energy of the year begins to descend and generates the Earth Element. There is a rounding, drooping, sagging feel to nature, a pleasant heaviness. This is the time of harvest when the fruits of the year are made manifest. The extent to which the Fire has fully flourished will determine the bounty of the harvest and the fullness of the Earth.

🪨Autumn (Metal Element):
As the energy of the year continues to fall, Earth gives birth to Metal. This is when nature discards what is no longer of use and retains what is of greatest value to life. Trees lose their leaves, plants die after dropping their seeds. There is a garnering of what is most precious, generating the return to Water.

A few spaces remain for our next special event with Sarah (Qigong Health and Wellness, LLC) + Chris (Connection Catalyst) this Friday night! ➡️Registration closes on 4/3 @ 6:45pm.

🌝Join us for a magical evening under the Full Moon's enchanting glow. Begin with a slow, silent walk through the trees, guided by moonlight to our qigong space by the water. Immerse yourself in the forest's sights and sounds, letting the celestial energy ground you as you arrive fully in your body.

At the water's edge, pause to bask in the moonlight and the evening's stillness. The Full Moon will enhance our qigong practice, blending movement, breath, and intention for optimal wellness. Experience harmonious mind-body integration and free-flowing movement under the captivating lunar light.

🌚Since our event is at night, please bring a headlamp or flashlight and wear warm layers. Our 2-mile walk along the Loch Raven (Timonium) dirt trail is relatively flat and begins from street parking.

Take Control of Your Health & Wellness

Have seen people needlessly suffer - and certainly having experienced it myself - I care deeply about providing opportunities, insight, and knowledge so that others may thrive, instead of just survive.

Over time, we've lost our connection with our internal world, instead focusing so heavily on circumstances and what's going on outside of us. For successful healing to occur, shifting our attention inward is critical. This journey begins with a willingness to look deeper into yourself and what's keeping you stuck. Also, with an openness to experiencing alternative healing methods - ones that have been utilized in China for thousands of years.

We are so powerful in creating our experiences. It's time to take back control of your health and wellness, achieved by learning ways to effectively hone the natural wisdom of your bodies and minds. Are you ready?
